She is a 2004 graduate of Alma College with a Bachelor of Science and a 2008 graduate with high honors from the Michigan College of Optometry.

Andrew Irwin

Andrew is the optician at our Buchanan location, typically manning the office as the sole human on site. He began his time in eye care in 1996 and has had quite the journey. After a brief, semi-retirement in 2000, he worked on the clinical side of the optometric world as he managed a practice of doctors. To say that Andrew has been a jack-of-all-trades is an understatement. We are fortunate to have him as our optician, but even more so for the work he does in our lab. He cuts, or “edges,” many of the lenses for our patients when he is not assisting others during their appointments with our doctors. Andrew is a connoisseur of the fabulous financial universe and avidly stalks the stock markets. Finally, and most importantly, Andrew is a husband to his wonderful wife and father to two children, all of whom he cherishes most on this big, blue planet.
